The 92fs is proven and reliable pistol. Beretta claims 30,000+ round lifespan. I've had one and my friend currently owns one. A little large for concealment in my book but dead reliable. I have smallish hands, if I ever find a Vertec for a decent price I'm jumping on it!

I never understood Beretta's conservative 30,000 round esitmate on frame life. I've seen lots of Berettas with 100,000+ rounds through them with nothing more than regular maintenance. I've spoken with a competitor with nearly 200,000 ducumented rounds through his Elite II and still going strong.
